With a smile on her face, sakeena read the message from her phone. She just wish Jafar was with her right now. She does love him with every fibre of her being andstill surprised at how all this feelings developed quickly. For one,she isn't a type of person to fall too quick for a guy, in fact jafar was the first person she has ever love this much. He just... He just makes her so happy and full. She love him so dearly that she wish he wasn't traveling abroad, she wish he would just come over to her parents house to introduce himself as her fiance. But what scares her most is, she wasn't sure if her dad would approve of him as her husband because of his present status. Her father wouldn't allow her to marry a poor man, so he once told her. But not withstanding, Jafar isn't a poor man but still ,he isn't leaving with his parent, so no one would believe her . with time she will some day muster the courage to tell them about him.
I will and I must, she tried assuring herself.
Alhaji was going through some documents when a knock on the door interrupted." Come in" he said and the person behind the door went in.As the person went in, with wrinkled brows he asked " what's with your knocking today?. I have always known you to always barge into the office "Rahama shrugged and have her seat " I thought you might be having a meeting coz last I could remember you told me you're going to be having a meeting with your new investors"" oh yes, they've gone already " he repliedWith a surprise expression " they left so quick? "" yeah"" but I hope everything went as planned? " she queried" Hm, well I can't say it went too well but it was fair though "This got her alarmed " so, what now? Are they not going to invest here again? "" They demanded for more interest after all I tried explaining to them"She felt bad for him." so sorry dad. More investor would come, in shaa Allah" she touched his hand
***The two couples sat comfortable,waiting for the remaining duo who are yet to arrive" I wonder what could be keeping Ram this late?" Said Sakeena" why don't you give her a call while I also call my friend sadiq" Jafar suggested and Sakeena agreed with him.Jafar brought out his phone from His trouser's pocket and Dialled sadiq's number ." Hello,sadiq"" hey man,am on my way. Just give me some few minutes please""OK then,hurry up"They hung up.Sakeena also called rahama and their conversation went like this" I'm so sorry Sana. The old up is too much over here but I will be there in 10min."" OK,don't take too long"+" I won't "They hung up" so? What did she say?" Asked jafar with a brow raised" she said she would be here
***Lunch was going smoothly for the four. They shared a lot of jokes and story as they ate their food. To be note specific, Jafar and Sakeena were the story teller as the other two refuses to say anything only to nod at what is being said. Sakeena notice the tension between the two." OK ,I'm sick and tired of this . Do you two by any chance know each other? " she asked this particular question which was eating her up.yes ""no"They answered the same time . Rahama was the one with the negative response. She glare at sadiq and then roll her eyes with folded arms.Sakeena knew something was wrong somewhere and she just couldn't wait to hear all the details from Rahama but that would be another day." OK,I don't know who to believe " she said with a brow raised." yes,we've met before" said sadiq emphasis
Mansir came downstairs to join the rest on the dinning table. He look over disheveled for his own good and that didn't go unnoticed by his parents, and even his sister badiyya. They've never seen him look worse as this for a control freak like him. He spent most of his night hourscalling and messaging rahama who in turn wasn't picking upor even replying any of his messages.He greeted both his parent and avoid all their curious faces." I hope all is well? " asked his mother in concern as he drag a seat to sit on.He knew even if his father doesn't ask him what the problem was, his mother would never let it slide . He responded with a nod " All is well, mama"" but your face and everything about you looks sluggish dear"" please just let it slide. It's just an ordinary headache " he exhale slowly" OK then , if you say so" she shrugged.All these while ,Alhaji Ringim wasn't even fazed with their conversation.Badiyya had a hint that it
***The room was now left with a bed and their single couch. They've gifted out most of their things as they will be vacating the room. All little things they needed is already well packed in their boxes." are you sure you've packed all your things? " asked aunty yasira for the tenth time today" of course we have" Jafar answered while sadiq roll his eyes" Good"Aunty yasira, Badiyya and Sakeena were all around to help them prepare. The two young ladies hit it up nicely and wouldn't stop talking about their experiences in UK . Although they didn't attend the same school but they still had so many thing to share. Like the food and so on.After a long time of preparing, the time was finally 12:30pm. Aunty yasirah volunteer to take the guys to the airport in her car while the girls will follow them in each of their cars.The car ride was quiet, all deep in their thou
After lots of effort to calm down , Rahama took a deep breath and checks herself in her front mirror. She wiped up the dried tears with an handkerchief and sighed before coming out of the car. She swore that she wouldn't allow anyone to know about what happened and even if they find out ,it makes no different. He was gone for good.She took her time to walk into the house cooking some excuses in her head. Excuses which she was going to tell her dad about her sudden rush out of the house and not even waiting to listen to her dadwhen he called her name.FlashbackShe woke up as usual around 6 am which has become her daily routine. She performed ablution and finally perform her fajr prayer. She call unto the Lord seeking for mercy, she really wants to change but is finding it hard to ,but why? She doesn't know. She knew the answer to all her problems can be answered by her alone, she hold the key to her problems. If she could just let go of the past,
***" welcome, welcome. Come in" Hajiya Gimbiya ushered badiyya and her mom in. She directed them to the sitting room . " it's so nice to meet you"They all have their seat" thanks Gimbiya, meet my daughter badiyya"Gimbiya's eyes sparkle like someone who has just found the treasure she had been looking for." Good afternoon ma" badiyya greeted shyly" wow! such a beautiful and lovely girl. My dear, how are you?"" I'm fine thank you ma"" I never knew you have such beautiful daughter like this . Don't tell me you always lock her up in her room from the eyes of lustful men" she joked and Hajiya maimuna laughed. Even badiyya found it funny. At first glance, she already likes the woman. So far to say she is so different from her mom's other friends." no, we don't lock her up. In fact she also works in her dad
UNITED KINGDOM, 2019Two months laterThe two friends sat and listen attentively at what the chairman of the organization was saying. He gave all the new recruiting member a lot of words of advise to follow, if they surely wants to be who they claim they want to become. The only noise that could be heard was the chairman's and that was it. Most of the members are from other African countries like South Africa and so on. It's so surprising for sadiq and Jafar that they were the only Nigerian's there.Nevertheless, there are some who actually have half Nigerian blood but because they grew up abroad, they claim that they aren't originated from Nigeria." I hope all what I have lectured is well taken " the chairman saidAlot of 'yes' and 'absolutely' went round among the participants. They smile in determination ,couldn't wait for their success ." Good .As of now more lecture will be given to you by other big business ow
It's two weeks now since alhaji ringim passed away. The death shocked alot of people. Some didn't even know that he was sick. It came as a total shock when it was announced on TV and radio. People are mourning for him. He was a good man indeed. Badiyya hasn't said anything since the day he died. She kept herself locked up in his room. Her daddy was gone. He is never going to come back. Her heart breaks miserably.She hugged herself so tight wishing he was here hugging her " my daddy "He was her hero. Her everything. Why does he have to leave too soon?. He promise that he wouldn't leave but he disappointed her. The door kept knocking but she wasn't answering." Badiyya?" rahama called from the other side of the door. " I know you're listening to me, please open up. Talk to us, sakeena and I are worried sick for you. Your brothers are also worried. Please badiyya always remember that we are now family and family sticks together. "She still didn't
ONE MONTH LATERHappinessHappiness is when you see your children happy and together. Happiness is that emotion you feel when the two sons you thought might not reconcile finally proves you wrong. Happiness is when you have peace of mind. Happiness is everything.Alhaji ringim couldn't help but watch his two sons finally getting married. His heart warmth at the smile on their faces. He also knows that their wife's will surely take good care of them from where he had stopped. Even if he was gone ,he knows that his children are in good hands. They will continue his reign from where he had stopped.It came as a surprise to him when the two brothers decides to marry at the same time.On a second thought, alhaji heart aches at the fact that he was leaving too soon. Soon enough for him to even see more of his grandkids. At least he was able to see Mansir's son.He hasn't told anyone about his deteriorating health which he had bee
" are you sure you don't remember anything?" aunty yasira asked again" no I don't " rahama answered with a confused look on her face " am I supposed to remember that? "" yes you are " yasira nodded" I think I should call the doctor" she turned around to make her way to the door. The moment her hand held the door knob, she was stopped by the sound of rahama's laughter she quickly turned with eyes wide open" did I just fooled the almighty aunty yasira? " Rahama wiggled her brows " of course I remember everything about the accident. Infact I'm still surprised that I survived it"Yasira gasped " Did you just lied to me? " she was totally shocked. She made her way back to rahama's bed and raised her hand to hit rahama on her arm " I can't believe you got me fooled! "" ouch! your hand hurts alot!. Can't you take a joke for once?"" A joke? You called this a joke? " she scoffed " we all have been worried sick that maybe the fall you

He made sure to snap the drivers face in other to be easy for the police man to arrest them. He paid the bike man and the man left immediately. It seems as if the two people in the car lives in the house they entered. ThankGod he was able to see the drivers face but not the other man's .Sameer then dialed in the first number on his screen.

Enjoy ?☺Mansir straightened his shirt then blew out a quiet breath before he opens the door. At first, he acted confused upon seeing two police officer together with his brother, sadiq" Hello Officers?" he said more like a question. He then looked at Sadiq "what is this all about ? " he asked pointing at the officers" They're here to question you" sadiq answered with folded arms." excuse me? What offence have I committed ? Haven't you done enough? "The officers moved forward when things was about to get heated" Mr ringim, we know this is a sudden visit for you but we're only here to do our job"" Really " he folded his arms " what might that job be? ""we're here to question you concerning his fiancee who met with an accident" one of the officers explainedMansir cocked a brow " and how is that my business? "" officer I told you he is the one,see how he is behaving. Arrest him" sadiq said angrily
FearThat word was particularly what Sameer was feeling. He has never witness such a brutal accident as this one.This was totally brutal and pure wickedness. The car which hit rahama didn't even stay behind to save her, instead it fled immediately. It was as if it purposely hit her. People can be so wickedSameeer pace round in worry as the doctors were taking time to tell him how she was doing. He wanted calling the police but decided against it . He hasn't called any of rahama's family since he doesn't have her number. Thank God he found a phone on her but unfortunately the battery was dead so he pleaded with one of the nurses to please help him charge it.He heard the sound of the emergency door open, he quickly stood up and rush to the doctor " please doctor tell me she is going to survive this? " almost in tearsThe doctor heaved a sigh " I'm sorry, we are still trying our best on her. Are you the family of Miss.... " he trailed off
RecapWHAT THE HELL!"Everyone turned towards the person that shouted out the last statementPresent" Rahama are you OK? " Jafar asked quizzically " Do you know Kamila From somewhere? " he just couldn't understand why she just shouted out the way she did...Rahama glared at the lady standing close to him" ask her" she said pointing at KamilahHe looked at his sister " Kamila is there something I should know? "Kamila's fingers kept shaking in fear " i_i_i i know her " she broke down in tears" please talk to me " Jafar pleaded calmly at the sight of her tears" I use to go out with her ex fiance " she confessedJafar still does not understand " are you talking about Mansir? " Kamilah nodded " yes"" We still don't get what is happening. Rahama can you please explain more better? " sadiq asked from where he is sat.Rahama heaved a small sigh " Mansir was cheating o
Sadiq was having second thoughts on whether he should go to the RINGIM GROUP OF COMPANY or not. Something inside him has been pestering him to go. He groaned annoyingly and then got out of bed." It's best I go. Let's hear what that man has to say once and for all" he said to himself.He wanted the visit to be a surprised one which is why he hasn't called anyone not even his father.Sadiq took the towel which was laying flat on the couch. He went into the bathroom to do his business. Then finally, he was out 15 minutes later. He quickly prepared. He wants the visit to be a fast one, wouldn't take more than an hour or even thirty minutes because he has other places to be.He made sure to send a morning text to his darling rahama before walking out of the room. There in the living room was Jafar who is watching the morning news. Jafar has been an absentee for almost a week now. Well, sadiq doesn't blame him, he has been busy with his now completed h
